Minister of Information and Legal reform, Mohamed Nasheed has said that he wants to meet MDP regarding the transitional arrangements as soon as the Special Majlis re-opens next January.

Speaking to press at “Fansavees” yesterday, Nasheeed said that the laws which needs to be finalized soon cannot be done so as how the way work is going on at Sp. Majlis. He said that discussions are needed to be carried out with MDP as the next topic to debate at the Sp. Majlis is about transition.

“There are a lot of problems which we need to come to an agreement. The date of the Presidential elections, what would happen to the people who are currently judges, on what principles, do judges become independent, and when will the judicial services commission be established. How long before the elections, do we need an independent elections commission, how do we make election laws, we also need to divide Maldives in to 75 parts and make a new electoral chart” Nasheed said.

Next scheduled in agenda of people’s Majlis is the chapter on the President and after that, transition. There were heated debates among the two parties in SP. Majlis about bringing the transitional chapter before the President’s chapter.
